25 Acres – Milton, FL 32583 | Santa Rosa County

Let’s be clear: if dry land near the Bay were cheap, everyone would already own it. Opportunities like this exist for one reason only — wetlands create the discount. This approximately 25-acre tract is located in a proven area of Santa Rosa County with established residential properties and nearby utility infrastructure. Comparable wetland tracts with paved road access are currently listed at significantly higher price points, while smaller nearby parcels have recently gone under contract — confirming active demand in this pocket. The property consists of a mix of forested wetlands and freshwater emergent wetlands (PEM1/F04B). Emergent wetlands are widely considered more flexible and less costly for low-impact and agricultural-style uses than forested wetlands, which is exactly where experienced investors focus. A professional wetland delineation report is already completed and available, giving buyers real due diligence up front instead of guessing. Here’s what most people miss: Dry land farther inland regularly trades at multiples of this price. Investors who understand wetlands know you don’t need to “fix” the entire property — you pay to work with a portion, secure the location, and still end up building at a fraction of typical coastal-area costs. This pricing reflects unresolved access and the market’s general fear around wetlands — not inferior land quality. For buyers who understand how wetlands actually work, this represents long-term upside in a location that simply doesn’t offer cheap dry land anymore.
